Hall & Partners is a team of unconventional thinkers, obsessed with how marketing influences the relationship between people, brands and culture. Born out of ad land, we are the insight agency known for weaving creativity with science.

We distil data through a strategic lens to reveal ‘uncommon insights’ – human truths tailored to individual brands, not black box data available to the masses. We partner with clients to shape brand strategy and optimise brand and campaign performance. Our award-winning approach amplifies insights across every business area, propelling marketing decision-making to create an unmatched competitive advantage.

We do this for an eclectic group mix of brands, including 29 of Interbrand’s Top 50 Best Brands and 16 of the top 20 biopharmaceutical companies.

Hall & Partners is an uncommon insight agency that specialises in brand strategy, brand performance measurement, and campaign performance research .

Core responsibilities

There are five core capability areas that a Strategy Director at H&P delivers on

1) Client Builder - Building valuable relationships with clients

2) Business Developer – Driving business growth with commercial acumen

3) Expert in craft - Doing the day job brilliantly

4) Team Player – Giving and getting the best from the team

5) Role model - Embodying H&P Values to build meaning for our clients and people

The Hall & Partner values are all about being Creative, Curious, Courageous and Collaborative, all grounded in a strong Community. We expect all our people to demonstrate and work by these values every day.

COMMUNITY

We have created an inclusive and supportive environment. Everyone is encouraged to contribute, and every idea and opinion is respected. When one of us succeeds, we all celebrate.

COLLABORATION

We do great work by inspiring each other and having fun along the way. We forge strong connections with each other, our clients and our network by being honest and loyal partners.

CREATIVITY

We improvise and experiment to solve problems when solutions don’t already exist. We make the complex feel simple. Our thinking delights clients and helps them see problems in a different light.

CURIOSITY

We never stop asking questions. We keep digging until we find genuinely uncommon insights. We’re always pushing ourselves to improve the value we offer to clients.

COURAGE

We encourage our clients, and each other to try new things, to learn and to grow. We see every challenge as an opportunity to be bold and original.

Key attributes

• Experience leading quantitative research projects autonomously (6+ years), with prior experience as a line manager (2-3 years)
• Proven management skills. Able to lead and prioritise to deliver outstanding quality on time and coach a team to do so.
• Strong presentation and storytelling skills.
• Highly motivated and driven, with a hunger to win and grow our business.
• Expert critical thinking skills and ability to solve problems.
• Able to travel occasionally as the job requires.

What we offer you

We believe we have a unique culture. It’s a difficult thing to put into words but it’s all about being challenging yet treating each other with respect. We are naturally curious, and we love to learn and discover new things.

We nurture opinions and really respect people who have a point of view and aren’t afraid to share their thinking. We work as teams and responsibilities sit with everyone in that team, whatever their job title. A can-do attitude goes a long way in our business, and we don't tolerate egos!

We are passionate about helping our people to learn, stretch and grow. We want this to be a place where people feel challenged, as well as guided and supported. When you are not learning from some of the smartest people in insight, you can also take advantage of our Learn training program and attend interactive training sessions and “OutsideIn” sessions with industry experts, that build your skills for the future.
